Mason, Ohio – New at the Kings Island amusement park in 2023 will be Adventure Port, “where the myths of an ancient civilization and its mighty city carved out of stone have lured travelers from around the globe to a bustling port community.”
Adventure Port is located between Coney Mall and Action Zone, the parkās newest themed area will feature two new family rides, enhanced theming forĀ Adventure Express, Enriqueās quick service restaurant, and the Mercado.
Calling all explorers!
Warnings of unchartered lands and surprise encounters beckon adventure seekers to board the Adventure Express for a journey that travels 3,000 feet of track twisted between trees and nestled into a hillside in the Oktoberfest area of the park.
As the adventure begins, passengers depart from the station for what seems to be a leisurely ride, but after a quick plunge into the dense foliage of a damp rainforest, it becomes obvious this is no average coaster ride.
As the train leaves the rainforest, a quick turn sends passengers into an old, boarded-up mine shaft. The train exits the tunnel only to enter another, narrowly escaping before being hoisted up the rideās first lift hill where the train tiptoes its way over the trackās decrepit rickety structure then divesĀ 60 feet below where passengers find themselves spinning through a helix of ruins.
Riders next experience another tunnel, beginning a 40-foot climb up the second lift. The walls of this enclosed lift are lined with drummers and a giant figure holding a cauldron of molten lava is directly ahead.
As the train avoids the lava, itās hurled into a dark cave that leads riders back to civilization.
Sol Spin
This recently discovered mechanism appears to be an immense sun disk created by an ancient civilization. Climb aboard these open air, suspended passenger vehicles to experience the thrill of flying 60 feet through the air at 25 m.p.h.
Cargo Loco
Need a company to ship your goods? Look no further than the Arrow Cargo Company. Their methods might be a little dizzying, but theyāll get your freight from Point A to Point Bā¦eventually. Check out the shipping barrels for yourself and get ready for the trip of your life!
The Mercado
Cultures come together at the Mercado, a melting pot where guests simply celebrate being alive. Whether youāre an explorer just passing through, or a tourist checking out the local scene, the local purveyor is your source for dining, drinking, cargo transport and more.
Enrique’s
A trip to Adventure Port isnāt complete unless you experience the local cuisine. Stop by Enriqueās quick serve restaurant for a menu that features traditional burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, salads and sides.
Adventure Port Debuts in 2023
Resting in the foothills of overgrown mountains and dense tropical terrain, Adventure Port is a hub for explorers searching for the ruins of an ancient civilization, its forbidden temple and mysterious wonders. If asked, the locals will tell tales of those who came before you and vanished. Did they unwittingly disturb ancient spirits and fall victim to an age-old curse?
